God I love it.


Also it ain't a daily driver neither.
Yeah the other day playing around got pretty sideways in 2nd can't even imagine what that would be like with 4.10s... gotta be insane. Isn't Steve running 3.90s or something ??

Yes, I love it too. Wouldn't have any other way.

Almost a reality I need to buy some exciter rings for the new axle shafts so that I won't have any down time sending the shafts to a shop. This Saturday I may stop by Brothers for the 3:73's. After that I have everything in just need to pick an installer.

4.10's, alum. DS, alum. flywheel, and a centri FTMFW!

Jed.. 3.73's.. finally.

Maybe, but the rear kills it for me. I'd rather have a '08 or '09 Cobra than the '10 Cobra, just because of the rear. I know the '10 is better in pretty much better in every other aspect, but that's how much I hate the rear of the '10...

It'd be great to upgrade and it's a great price, but $$$ always gets in the way. Thanks for looking out for us Leo

BTW... the Saleen unit looks better, IMO.

Off topic a little....
speaking of which I for one can't wait for the season to end. I don't know if it's JJs chase points-racing (well they're all doing it), the chase, the horrible TV coverage, I dunno. Its gone from a great sport to watch to being a bore except for the opening laps and last 50 or so laps.

After this weekend no racing until Feb, :cry: but at least there's still football and Hockey

I always can't wait for baseball season to be over so we can focus on football.

And watching stock car racing in the last week of November just doesn't do it for me either. And yes, the "Chase" is boring again as usual.

I think the Chase is a negative actually. I always watched the races on the idea of the individual races themselves. I understand there is a championship, and that's fine, but you're killing those last 10 or 12 races for the me because if my guys not in the Chase, who the **** cares if he wins during the playoffs. They are narrowing the field, and therefor narrowing the audience IMHO. I know anyone can still win, but who cares if someone does. The only people watching now are true die hard fans and Jimmie Johnson fans. Who else cares anymore?
